Sad news
We
were
deeply saddened to learn of the passing of fellow club member
Richard Winterburn on February 15, 2010 at 66 years of age.
He was loving father of Brennah Rose and life partner and friend
of Cindy Diubaldo. Richard was passionate about British
sports cars, especially Morgans. If you so desire, donations to
the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation, the A.L.S. Society of
Essex County, the Humane Society of Windsor and Essex County or to
a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. On
Friday, February 19, friends and family are invited to a
visitation between 1-2 pm followed by a Memorial Service at
Families First Funeral Home and Tribute Centre (519-969-5841) 3260
Dougall Ave., Windsor, Ontario. |

The Hibernation Party was
another huge success!
Thanks to all who came out and celebrated... we had
a great evening featuring a slide show, fine food, a band that
kept the dance floor hopping all night and tremendous raffle
prizes once again. Look for a few pictures in the March
issue of the
newsletter with more to come in the April edition.

Facebook Group
For those members who are familiar with the social
network Facebook, the club has an established Facebook group that we urge you to join and participate in. Besides enabling
communication with fellow members, we hope it
will
encourage
more impromptu get-togethers amongst members. Just as
the newsletter complemented word-of-mouth and the web site
complemented the newsletter, the Facebook group is yet one more
addition to our
suite of communication and networking tools. If
you're already registered with Facebook all you need to do is click
here. If you're not a Facebook member yet, you will be
prompted to sign up at the top of the page.
